Problem creating a new XCode project using the XCode plug in

[Joe Jones-4]

When I attempt to create a new project called "Foo", I get the following error:

/tmp/temp_textmate.VmGETS:30:in 'read': No such file or directory - /Users/jjones/Documents/Code/Foo/___PROJECTNAMEASIDENTIFIER____Prefix.pch (Errno::ENOENT)

/tmp/temp_textmate.VmGETS:30:in 'expand_file'

/tmp/temp_textmate.VmGETS:94:in 'process'

/tmp/temp_textmate.VmGETS:92:in 'each'

/tmp/temp_textmate.VmGETS:92:in 'process'

/tmp/temp_textmate.VmGETS:138

I see that the folder /Users/jjones/Documents/Code/Foo has been created and a bunch of projects are in there. Not sure what the issue is here and I was wondering if anyone here knows what to do to get around this?

Thanx,

Joe

So, is this a dead project now (Xcode bundle)?

Well, I did the bundle and I have moved away from Xcode project files  
(using CMake now).

But the problem you experience seems like it should be a simple fix.  
The Xcode template format is not documented and it seems a bit  
heuristic about how it goes about things, but effectively it is just  
running some files through a preprocessor using a set of preset  
variables, and from your error, it seems it just need to include one  
more variable for your template to expand without problems.

Which version of Xcode and what template were you expanding?

Even for Cocoa-based projects? How is that working?

BTW I use the Xcode bundle a lot (thanks!), and it has some rough  
edges but seems to be working overall, at least for me.

Yes, and it works very well, but I had to write a lot of CMake support  
code to get to where I am now.

I have 3 essential “commands” which are CREATE_FRAMEWORK,  
CREATE_TOOL, and CREATE_APPLICATION. They create a framework, a CLI  
tool, and a bundled application. These take arguments for what to  
include in the build, e.g. my buffer.framework has the following  
definition:

   CREATE_FRAMEWORK(buffer
     SOURCE_FILES    src/*.cc
     PUBLIC_HEADERS  src/buffer.h
     RESOURCES       resources/*
     LINK_WITH       scope
     LINK_WITH       parse
   )

This is in a CMakeLists.txt file inside the ‘buffer’ folder  
containing the stuff for this framework (not sure if you are already  
familiar with CMake). Scope and parse are two other frameworks that  
the buffer framework is linked with.

As you can probably imagine, I feel that it is vastly superior working  
this way than having to maintain Xcode project files :) Also my  
commands pickup special extensions like ‘xib’ and do proper  
preprocessing — being in full control of this is nice (for example  
ANTLR generate two sources and a header for one grammar file, I don’t  
think I managed to get that working properly (with dependencies) in  
Xcode).

I have the TOOL/APP commands also crate a “Run«target name»”  
makefile target and I have setup this to be the default target and  
hence just use Make → Build (folder-specific variables are pretty  
useful for this, especially as they can reference TM_DIRECTORY).

I do feel my CMake files can be generalized more, but I attached them  
below incase you want to check it out. And while I much prefer this  
environment over Xcode files, CMake syntax is ghastly! Fortunately  
majority of the actual target-specific files are as simple as what’s  
shown above.

Which is why I was asking! Hate to do this, and was hoping maybe TM2  
somehow offers tighter integration. But this sounds like an  
interesting alternative!

How do you debug? Besides the annoying maintaining of project files,  
this is pretty much the only function I use Xcode for, and the  
Debugger GUI is nice (compared to terminal). Or can TM2 talk to the  
debugger?

BTW I replaced NSLog with a more configurable system that prefixes  
output with file and line number, so that in TMs 'Build With Xcode'  
window I can just click on any output and TM shows that line in the  
code. And exceptions work similar, I can just click on any place in  
the stack trace. Very handy! And other than iVars and properties my  
header-files are also all auto-generated, big time saver.

Also do you use git? I have modified the git part in the ProjectPlus  
plugin a lot so that it is much smarter about more complex project  
setups (I have projects heavily borrowing code from each other, and PP  
now tracks that correctly). Wonder if I should try and find the time  
to commit those changes.

Thanks

Gerd

I use a debugger so rarely that Terminal is fine. Litter your code  
with assertions and the need to debug it goes down dramatically, is my  
experience :)

It can’t.

I use Git, yes. If you have patches for how Project+ obtains status  
for files then you should publish these if you wish to see 2.0 have  
similar behavior ;)

That's what I do too. I maybe use the debugger once or twice a month,  
and that is with full-time Cocoa programming.

I'll send it in a separate email with a more appropriate subject line.
